Mummy, When will Jerry grow up?

pop quiz by Nat this morning as we were sending him to school

Nat: Mummy, When will Jerry grow up?
Me: What you mean grow up?
Nat: Stand, walk and run with me.
Me: Jerry is a special baby. By right, baby this age should be able to stand and walk already. But Jerry is born with a defect
Nat: What is a defect?
Me: Defect means something was not quite right about him. His spine which is the bone behind here (pointing to my spine) was outside when he was born. That was why we had to send him for operation. So his hips down is affected and this makes him have not as much strength to stand or walk. Only God can help. So you gotta pray really hard for this to happen.

Nat listening intently all the while then butted in to say....

Nat: Pray really hard?
Me: Yeah. Pray really hard.

There was a long silence.
My heart was in pieces. On one hand,I felt sad that Jerry could not get on his feet and walk yet. On the other hand, I also felt really sad for Nat who had always wanted a younger sibling to play with him. To run with him. To kick a ball with him. To play catching with him.

Won't you all just pray as hard together with Nat for his little brother to stand up, walk, run and play with him?

Yes, Jerry WILL walk.
not just walk.
Jerry will run, hop, skip and jump. Most of all, Jerry will dance for the Lord and be a testimony of His wonderful love for us.

Jerry is a miracle kid and will carry on to be!

Now, even the kid knows there's nothing my God cannot do!
